My boy and a Ruger Mark III

I've been getting my boy Matt moving up from pellet/BB rifle/pistols to a 22 pistol. I first had him shooting my Buckmark thinking the fiber optic sight might be a little easier on him. He did OK but I could see the mistakes a new shooter (especially with pretty small hands) was making on the target. I today let him try my Ruger Mark III 22/45 thinking it might be a little easier to hold but the sights are not too good for a new shooter (front blade is not the best as yo visibility) but thought he could at least get a feel for the pistol. This is his first target with the Ruger. I think he will do just fine in time

Yeah..He ain't go tit down by no means but he got them all on paper and I thought that was pretty good..heh..I was lucky to hit the broad side of my own rump at that age with the gun in my back pocket!

I'm looking forward to a lot more good times with him doing things like this. He already wants to hunt a deer

Yeah. I really want to do some work to it. I bought it a while back and it's only been shot twice for about 150 rounds total. I'm not as well acquainted with the Rugers as I am some others. I guess I'll be catching up on my reading,,heh

I'm a new Mark III owner and this site really helped me take it apart and get it back together again.
